Bob DeMarco's Whiteboard

Hi Bob,

 My mother is 85 with alzheimers and I also am the sole caregiver fof her.  Had her at the doctor yesterday to see if she qualified for the many studies out there she has a pacemaker & did not qualify.  She is  on Namenda/Aricept & I asked her doctor to try her on the Exelon patch/Namenda instead of the Aricept.  So tomorrow we start the patch and hopefully she does well.  I also have her on Tumeric and resveratrol.
